Hay There!!

Hello from the hayloft! We have been quite busy lately at the farm. With a threat of rain, the hay that had been drying in the field had to be quickly baled. This hay added to some that we had previously purchased has just about filled up our hay loft. Hopefully we will have one more cutting by fall. Next year we will have additional acreage to mow and bale...possibly making us self sufficient. Notice what a lovely green color our hay is! We have been quite lucky with adequate rainfall here in PA this summer.

This is today's yield from the henhouse. Finally our new gals are starting to lay. I will say, however, that their eggs are quite small in comparison with our old gals'. I am holding 8 eggs in my hand in this picture. They may be small, but their yolks are rich and quite tasty!

Welcome to Bee Haven Acres! This 200+ year old log house is the landmark that distinguishes our farm as you drive down the road. It was inhabited until the mid 1960's. We have had some rennovation done to it in the past few years. No one inhabits it any longer. Its basement is a springhouse that at one time served as drinking water for its occupants. There is always plenty happening at Bee Haven Acres....come see!

Bee Haven Acres

We are a small family owned and operated farm located in beautiful Central Pennsylvania, midway between Harrisburg and State College. We practice organic farming and strive to live harmoniously with nature. We lovingly grow our own produce, blueberries, apples, honey, gourmet eggs and adorable goats. We consume much of what we produce but also allocate a bit each year to share with others. We often have surplus honey, eggs and produce for sale. We hope to be able to market some of our farm fresh products from this site in the near future. Please visit with us often.....we have many stories to share with you!
